I actually don’t like tiny url’s, they take away from original content and domain names, they don’t show originality of the website being shown on Google, Bing, etc.

I think the benefit of the official http://goo.gl/ (which you can write javascript to use within a browser, eg. greasemonkey user scripts) is that before you are redirected the destination URL is checked using safebrowsing technology, whereas some others are not doing this, it’s often hard to tell if you should click, will the URL be intercepted and displayed as something you should not be going to, can you trust it…..

Google did announce the goo.gl. When Unfortunately when I tried to access it, it says “Google URL Shortener is currently available for Google products and not for broader consumer use.” Too bad, I really want to try it. Thanks for the information by the way.
